The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap. The creation of the corneal flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.

The Crystalens® accommodating intraocular lens is an intraocular lens used after cataract surgery or as a lens alternative in presbyopic lens exchanges. This intraocular lens was engineered with a hinge design to allow the optic, or the part of the lens that you see through, to move back and forth as your focus on an image changes. The Crystalens® accommodative intraocular lens is permanently implanted during surgery and functions in a similar fashion as the natural lens of the eye. Once the surgery has been completed your eyes can focus on far or near objects in a comfortable way with no discomfort. If you are experiencing presbyopia or cataracts please feel free to consult us about the possibility of utilizing the new Crystalens® accommodative intraocular lens to rejuvenate your eyes.

Lens Treatments

Transitions lenses are photochromic lenses. These lenses change from clear to dark in the presence ofultraviolet (UV) radiation, such as when exposed to sunlight the darkness of the lens varies with the amount of sunlight. Indoors and at night, Transitions lenses are as clear as regular clear lenses, and enhance the quality of vision by reducing glare, minimizing eye strain and fatigue, and improving contrast in all light conditions. There is evidence that UV light may harm your eyes but, Transitions lenses block UVA and UVB radiation, providing UV400 protection, helping to preserve your long-term eye health. The darkness of the lens varies with the amount of sunlight. Available in single vision and multi-focal lenses, as well as in a variety of lens materials custom designed for your prescription. Although the lenses do not get as dark as regular sunglasses in the car, they provide as excellent alternative to a separate pair of sunglasses.

Polarized Lenses - eliminate glare and reflections caused by road surfaces or the sun, on flat surfaces such as lakes or, snow and in certain weather conditions such as fog and rain. Polarized lenses are highly recommended for patients who enjoy outdoor activities, as well as those who have photosensitive eyes or have had LASIK surgery. Anti-reflective coatings are also available to ensure better reduction of glare and reflections.

Scratch Coatings - no lens is absolutely scratch resistant, but a scratch coating will help protect your investment in your eyewear. A clear coating applied to the front and back surface of the lens should be considered for all eyeglass lenses.

Ultraviolet Treatment - a clear coating that protects your eyes from harmful UV rays. Cataracts, retinal damage, and other eye problems can be caused from overexposure to these rays, but an Ultraviolet coating offers 100% UVA/UVB protection, ensuring an inexpensive way of protecting your eyes.

Lens Materials

Polycarbonate - offers durability, 100% UVA/UVB protection and safety in a lightweight material available in single and multi-focal lenses. This is a perfect choice for children under 18 or anyone with an active lifestyle who desires lightweight and safety in their lens material.

Hi-Index - Thinner than plastic lenses and sometimes lighter, Hi-Index lenses are a terrific alternative to Polycarbonate. Available in single and multi-focal lenses, the thinness of the lens is dependent on prescription and lens availability.
